Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 My 24 yr old daughter has just been diagnosed with a 3 cm nodule on her thyroid gland. They found the nodule during a physical at the end of Dec. She had had a previous physical the April before and nothing was noticed at that time. She had an ultra sound that showed it was solid. Also 2 inconclusive biopsies, a radioative iodine scan which showed the nodule as being hot. Saw the endocrinologist this week and he suggested surgery or radioactive iodine treatment.I'm not comfortable with this. Is there anything holistic she can do for this. What causes these nodules to come about? The only symptoms she has is some thinning hair, and more hungry. I thought with hyperthyroid she would be losing weight but she is gaining. I'm trying to gather information both natural and traditional to help her make some wise choices. Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
